Hello people,
I’ve been worrying about my testosterone levels for a long time now and my doctor says I’m fine but I really don’t believe him at all. First I’ll try to explain something more about my case:
-age
19 years old.
-height
6’3"
-waist
31 inch
-weight
175 lbs
-describe body and facial hair
I always had a lack of hair under my armpits and I was worrying about it since I was like 16 years old. Eventually I did get a bit of armpit hair but it’s not that much now. My chest hair/belly hair is the same. It’s there but very very thin. I have beard growth on my sideburn, mustache and under the chin. I shave about once a week so yes I have beard growth, but it’s very thin and it’s almost like there are bald spots in it. The weirdest thing is that my sideburn haven’t improved since I was about 16 years old or something. My facial hair now grows on more places than when I was 16 but the thickness hasn’t improved much.
-describe where you carry fat and how changed
I don’t really know where I carry the most fat. I’m just skinny and soft overall. I know it’s nearly impossible for me to get a sixpack so I probably carry fat on my belly, but I also have a big round ass so there must be fat on my upper legs/butt area too.
-health conditions, symptoms [history]
Ever since I’m in puberty I’ve had weird symtomps like tiredness, Inability to build muscle mass, lack of concentration, lack of life, depression, bad memory, difficulty peeing (especially when tired I leak a lot after peeing), irritability, mood swings, lower back pain, a feeling of weakness overall, diarrhia in the morning (escpecially when tired), cold sweats (especially when tired). Most of these symptoms are very subtle and they come and go. I really feel like people around me think I’m just “overreacting” or something.
-Rx and OTC drugs, any hair loss drugs or prostate drugs ever
No, never.
-lab results with ranges
I don’t have all the lab results yet but I will get them. I finally convinced my doctor to send me to an endocrinlogist so when I’ve been there I have all the results. (Maybe I should just wait for the results to come back, but I just CAN’T stop worrying about this subject so that’s why I’m asking you guys first).
I DO have total testosterone levels:
First time it was 16,6 nmol/l (that would be 478 ng/dl)
and the second time it was 17 nmol/l (490 ng/dl)
I don’t remember the thyroid levels anymore, but the doctor said they where a little bit lower than normal so he put me on pills to raise the level. After I took the pills for a while my new test results came back at a normal level, but I still felt like shit (no improvement at all) so I stopped using these pills.
-describe diet [some create substantial damage with starvation diets]
8:00
2 peanut butter sandwiches
300 ml cornflakes
1 glass of orange juice
11:00
2 sandwiches with meat (mostly cow or chicken)
1 glass of chocolatemilk
14:00
4 sanwiches with mear
1 glass of chocolatemilk
17:00
Depens on what my mom cooks for me. If we eat potatoes with beans I often eat like 5 potatoes, a chickenleg and 4 big spoons full of beans I guess.
20:00
250 gram of curd (high protein, low fat)
1 boiled egg (I eat the whole egg, not just the white)
1 glass of chocolate milk
-describe training [some ruin there hormones by over training]
stronglifts 5x5 (heavy weights, compounds, 5 sets of 5 reps)
-testes ache, ever, with a fever?
Yes, I do feel a dull pain in my testes sometimes, but not that often.
-how have morning wood and nocturnal erections changed
I have a high libido and no problem getting erections at all, but I don’t get morning wood ever. I also feel like I have high libido, but when I’m with a girl I’m so anxious that I don’t even want sex anymore.
So this is it… I’ll also upload a photo of my body, because I really feel like I have a weird hourglass figure. It’s like my ass grew more in puberty than my shoulders.
